The Nobel Prize is an interesting event. The recipients go from being venerated by a few hundred or thousand of their peers to being celebrities. For the rest of their life they're often introduced as a "Nobel Prizewinner", their opinion is sought by media & the famous, etc.

Interesting in part because there's many almost-Nobelists - people who reasonably could have been given a Prize, but didn't get it because of politics, bad luck, the rule that only 3 people can be given the Prize, etc.
